There will be drawbacks when the first cards reach the customers: Limited screenmodes, limited output modes, no Graffiti emulation and limited control with the config tool. Flash updates will add features and screenmodes one by one.

Will a early adopter, and a later buyer in the end have equivalent products, with the same capabilities? As in, do you foresee any updates that aren't purely firmware updates?
B!

All updates will be firmware-only. I just want to be honest with the early adopters, as it may happen again that I have to work on Nequester full-time for a few months. I'm also protecting myself from people who complain on the forums like "I bought the unit for [insert funny screenmode here], but it still doesnt support it!".

At some point, the firmware will support more screenmodes and features than the MK1 design does, but in the beginning, the MK1 design will do more than MK2 (well, no DVI...).

If Indivision MK2 is really DVI-I capable then someone will be able to make a replacement cable with a HDMI connector instead of DVI.

Yep I've seen his photo , and that is what I was thinking... "someone"...

EDIT: I was thinking perhaps to put it vertical opening the hole of the Composite, or perhaps where I've got the Nic, beside the BVision connector (no room for DVI). If I weren't using the RF place, that would be perfect for it (no room for DVI either). In any case, better smaller.

It's funny really, I want you to bring it out as quickly as possible but at the same time, I don't want you to rush it either

Certainly the option to use HDMI is the touch that convinces me to buy it.
I do have a Led Tv that lets me see the interlaces modes... but I find that it's image can be improved with more definition, and I want to have the Graffiti possibilities.

In fact now I'm saving money to buy it ("Vesalia:This product is currently not available (ETA: March 2012)").

Ok, you can use an adapter to have an output with HDMI, but that is to make the same thing twice. If it could be HDMI directly as an option it would be perfect.

From the manafacturors point of view, and from the resellers, DVI or HDMI isn't equal. This has already been explained. By the use of DVI, we get get the most options for connectivity. VGA, DVI,(any kind) and HDMI. Heck, with the use of an active adapter we can even use DisplayPort, cables and equipment. Sadly those are sort of rare, but it's an option at least.
